The following is from the 1996 Ford TSP (Technical Service Publication):

Quote:

30,000 MILES (48,000 Kilometers):
- Change engine oil and replace oil bypass filter.
- Replace air cleaner element (ACL element)
- Inspect engine cooling system, hoses and clamps; and check cooling strength every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months.
- Inspect exhaust heat shield(s).
- Inspect front and rear brakes every 10,000 miles (16,000 km).
- For 2.0L engine, replace crankcase emission filter.
- Inspect front and rear brakes.
If you notice, it is mainly a glorified oil change. Not worth more than $50 if you ask me.
